I'm a complete newbie... HELP!

Especially when you're looking for work and you have zero professional writing experience. But let me tell you a secret...
You dont actually need any on-the-job experience at all...__________________________________________________________________________________________________ "This course was great! I thought I was only going to get tips on how to build my portfolio, but learning where to go for jobs and asking for testimonials, and my favorite, samples of copy to write, were all such amazing bonuses! Thank " you!
JessieSince1986 "Great course and great PDF summaries and resources!" Mike Malley "This course has already given me so much confidence, and I"m only half way through! I'm excited to see what the rest of the content will offer!" Moriah "Tamsin has done it again! As an aspiring copywriter, I was completely clueless about how to start my (new) career until I watched Tamsin's videos. She goes into the nitty-gritties of what is required to jumpstart a copywriting career. Her exercises forced me to tap into the unused parts of my brain to do some actual "copywriting" work, which I'm so grateful for, as it gave me a feel of the elbow grease I'd have to go through to build my career. Tamsin's encouragement is so valuable. It's almost like having a personal coach telling me what to do and not to give up. The rest is up to me - practice, thick skin, grit, research, hard work. Thank you, Tamsin, for the invaluable advice and tips you've shared with me." Brenda Chung "I loved the writing prompts to begin creating my portfolio. This helped immensely and I was able to get 5 or 6 documents added! It really helped to motivate me to continue writing on a vast array of subjects. Thank you!" Kristine Walker "This course is truly amazing! I have recently moved into full-time copywriting and web development and needed a portfolio of work. Following Tam's lectures and writing has enabled me to do just that. When Tam says the copy templates the course provides are proven to work, she is not wrong! I used the one to approach my contacts and had a reply requesting my services from a large company CEO, within hours!!" "If you haven't taken Tam's other copywriting course, and are serious about copywriting, then you are missing out, I really recommend that course as well!" David Kalcher "For months now, I've been telling myself that I need to build a portfolio so I can start freelancing more seriously, but it just never got done. It felt like too big of a task to tackle, so instead, I distracted myself with more skill-building courses, and planning and re-planning my freelance business." "The best thing about this course so far is that it cuts through all of the busywork and potential roadblocks, and really encourages students to do what matters. I love this. Building a copywriting portfolio has never felt so doable before." Tara Nelson It's got me writing! That has to be a good thing. Ajibola Anita Dahunsi "A great follow on from her Copywriting course (but can be used independently of it) with very helpful tasks. Definitely puts one's mind at ease about going on this new copywriting venture!" Che "I initially finished the Complete Copywriting Course, and this course is the perfect addition to take what Tamsin teaches there and put it into practice. By the end of the course (if you actually do the exercises) you'll come away with a body of work all ready to go." Dominic Frencken "Tamrin was Awesome, she brought us along and had us put together 5 pieces for or portfolio- I think more feedback and assignments to have to turn in either with links or cut and paste to her would be helpful so she can review and help us further BUT as I start her full course I think I'll get just that! Also I would love to see a group with shared copy of students.....
so please invite me if this is up or when you have it up! I so want to take my copywriting and make a business out of it and have it really help my blog flourish!" Pamela Schmidlin "I found this course to be exactly what I was looking for an exactly as described. As far as improvement goes, I would recommend just having some more example copy as part of the building our own copy. Something that is similar to the examples we should be building, but not to similar. Analysis of something like that also might be good as far as looking over/editing our own copy or improving someone else's." Spencer Smith__________________________________________________________________________________________________And Im going to show you how to build your copywriting portfolio completely from SCRATCH. Inside this course you'll find five prompts you can use to create credible writing samples. (Plus tons of inside circle tips and tricks for getting them done with ease.)REMEMBER:
When you can demonstrate your copywriting skills youve got a fighting chance of getting SEEN, HEARD and HIRED. When you cant? Might as well wear an invisibility cloak. *Sad face*All you've got to do is learn how to put together a great portfolio, and effective ways to get it in front of your potential customers.
And thats EXACTLY what we're going to do, together, inside this course.
Step by step. Plus, you get to choose the pace. If you want, you could complete the whole thing in one afternoon. Or, you could do it over the space of a few weeks. Speedy or relaxed, your choice.
Not only that but we're gonna go out and GET YOUR FIRST COPYWRITING GIG.
Yep, you'll have a real paying client sample in your portfolio.

Great video and great sound. To the point. Better than a five star course in rel life." Andre Pretorius Andre Pretorius "This instructor gets to the point and provides a lot of value by giving it straight. The easy, stepped exercises are spot on.

I've always loved writing but never thought I was any good.
Then one day, I had a WAIT. WHAT? moment.
I realised Id been getting PAIDto write every day in my marketing career for years
... Hundreds of reports, press releases, web pages, scripts, proposals, promotions, and of course thousands of emails.
Didn't that make me a writer of sorts?
I wondered if there was a way to capitalise on these skills. To do something with them, for me -- not just for lining someone else's pockets.
So I read every book on copywriting Icould lay my hands on.
One morning, Irewrote a headline for a press release that had previously bombed.
Can you guess what happened?
Yep, the media went crazy for it.
Over 70 newspapers and websites picked it up worldwide... It reached millions of eyeballs.
... And my client landed their first $1m order.
WOW! I thought.
If one tiny headline tweak could generate results like these, there must be something in this whole copywriting thing.
So I cut back on my hours at work.
Did the earn-while-you-learn thing.
And six months later my side-hustle earnings had surpassed my salary.
I packed up my desk, jumped on my bike and raced home... my last ever commute.
And here I am, right now.
Nestled into the cushions of my blue velvet sofa, sipping hot chocolate, with a snoozing pooch by my side...
... No office politics. No energy-sapping meetings. No feeling chained to my desk.
